I Need Protein Help!



Recommended Posts

Premier Protein from costco is the only one I could really tolerate. I bought harmonizzed and hhave to choke it down. They all pretty much suck. Its just a matter of which sucks least for you.

Protein shots are NASTY if you ask me. Have you tried Cytosport's clear Protein? They have RTD's (ready to drink) mixtures available that I lived on during clear stage. They are called "whey isolate by cytosport" and I liked tropical and tangerine. Try those. I think those are 20g protein. I also like Oh yeah protein shakes in vanilla and strawberry (32g protein). Pure protein in Cookies and cream (35g protein).

I also liked the nectar brands originally just out of surgery. Not so much now, but your taste changes I believe. I liked the coffee kind, fuzzy navel, the blue one (don't remember it's name) and still have some around.

Also unjury's got good chicken Soup and the strawberry was ok to me. You order that online.

Premier Protein in vanilla is good... 30 g protein per 11 oz.

Someone in my support group class mentioned a good protein shot... I believe it is made by sunkist but IDK where you buy those. Maybe look on the internet?

Best of luck. Pls know it gets easier.

The EAS brand is the only ready made Protein Drink that I've tried that doesn't make me want to gag. It's fairly inexpensive and easy to find too at Walmart, target, walgreens, cvs etc..

I get most of mine from food and then supplement with an Adkins Protein drink... I have one in the afternoon that tastes just like a Starbucks Frappacino.. Caramel Mocha... as much as Protein Drinks have disagreed with me... as long as I don't have too much in one day, it doesn't bother me... I had to return the Unjury because I couldn't find a way to mix it that didn't tear my intestines up..

The only one that I can tolerate is Lean Body (40g of Protein, 9g of carbs and 0 sugar) Vanilla Ice Cream shake.< /p>

I found Isopure to be hands-down better than the RTD varieties I've tried, including Premier mentioned above. You can't beat the 50g of Protein and zero carbs.

I got a sample pack of unjury, but haven't tried it yet. It seems to be well recommended here.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
